Abstract
The average copper content of hair of normal bovines was found to be 9 p.p.m. Variations of dietary copper alone did not affect this, but increased molybdenum caused a reduction. Molybdenum content of bovine hair, bovine hoof, or sheep's wool was markedly increased by increased dietary molybdenum, but the increase was smaller or did not occur if dietary sulphate was also increased.Keywords
